Marriage

Is my past baggage affecting my marriage?

Examining the messages I send to myself and my spouse.

Let’s think about what the word baggage means to us. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the regrets of packing too much luggage for your holiday and feeling weighed down by your luggage. Next time you’re going to pack light, but when the next time comes you pack all that unnecessary stuff again. Sound familiar. Does your luggage control you or are you in control, packing what you need?

The same story seems to apply to our emotional lives. Does your emotional baggage control your life or have you discarded what you don’t need? Let’s have a look at how our emotional baggage gets packed.

Back to the beginning of our story.

Let’s unpack our baggage so we can understand why we behave as we do.

We’ll look at the baggage we as it relates to our first father, Adam, from our Physical Environment, and from our Birth Family. We will then look at our Present Family and Our Present Spiritual Family.
